International Schools and Expat Communities

[Kimmy]

Hi, We are an Australian family moving to Madrid early in the new year. We have two children aged 10 and 8 and would like to know where the nearest International school would be? Neither of us has ever been to Spain so any advice you could give us for an easier transission would be greatly appreciated. I have read on several web sites that there are Expat Communities with in the area if you could offer advice on where these areas are, again it would be greatly appreciated. We have lived in Indonesia for the past 7 years as a family and are looking forward to our next adventure.

Regards
Kim

Try and contact some of the expat groups in Madrid - by e-mail or letter. There is a FAWCO group I know of (American Women's Club, or some variation on that) that generally has information available on international and English-language schools in the area. There may be some Australian expat clubs there, too, or some form of International Women's Club or Association. These groups generally make lots of this sort of information available - and you don' t need to be a member to ask (often they publish a book or listing of schools in the area).
